McCullin
Don McCullin Documentry
This documentary by Jacqui Morris and David Morris (III) explores the work of Don McCullin, a war photographer who documented conflicts over the past 50 years in the mid-to-late 20th century. Throughout his life, he traveled the world to bear witness to events that shook it.
Icy blue, as striking as his photography is dark, his gaze draws you in. He seeks the consent of those he captures on film. Locking eyes firmly with his subject, Don McCullin forms an invisible connection and never breaks it. The same applies to his photography. He has the ability to get incredibly close without being intrusive. His images are taken at eye level, with subjects who look back at him. They are never stolen shots—this is a constant in his work.

Saul Leiter
Masters of Photography
In this one-hour webcast, Danie Bester talks about the life and work of the celebrated street photographer and master of colour photography, Saul Leiter.
Saul Leiter was an American photographer and painter known for his pioneering work in color street photography, long before it was widely accepted as a serious artistic medium. Working mainly in mid-20th-century New York, he captured quiet, intimate moments through windows, reflections, and layers, often using soft focus and muted tones to create a painterly feel. Influenced by his background in art, Leiter approached photography with a subtle, poetic eye, finding beauty in the ordinary and overlooked. Though relatively unrecognized for much of his life, his work is now celebrated for its originality and its lasting influence on contemporary photography.
